https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/ccommit/9c80a89af2fdf4f853892f84e46580f4902658ba>The point is that libxml2 never had the quality to be used in mainstream browsers or operating systems to begin with. It all started when Apple made libxml2 a core component of all their OSes. Then Google followed suit and now even Microsoft is using libxml2 in their OS outside of Edge. This should have never happened. Originally it was kind of a growth hack, but now these companies make billions of profits and refuse to pay back their technical debt, either by switching to better solutions, developing their own or by trying to improve libxml2. The behavior of these companies is irresponsible. Even if they claim otherwise, they don't care about the security and privacy of their users. They only try to fix symptoms. I'm not playing part in this game anymore. It would be better for the health of this project if these companies stopped using it.libxml2 is licensed under MIT which is a cuck license.

It's the "good enough" syndrome. Someone creates a basic but good enough minimum viable product that just get kept being used instead of innovating. It is a source of network effects and inevitable enshittifcation. Just like how everything is Chromium now and why Youtube is the default video player.
